<h1>strlen function </h1>

<hr>
<p>
<b>strlen</b> will give you the length of a string, NOT including the '\0' 
terminator. It should not be confused with the 
<a href=../SYNTAX/sizeof.html>sizeof</a> operator 
which returns the size of a variable (that could hold a string).<p>

<pre>
Library:   string.h

Prototype: size_t strlen(const char *s);

Syntax:	   size_t size;
	   char string[20]="red dwarf";
           size = strlen(string);
</pre>
